How can I make my Halloween makeup last overnight?

Here’s an important tip to know before you start working on your Halloween makeup. While the spooky makeup look isn’t about looking clean or flawless, the last thing you’d want is your makeup to end up blotchy, smudged or creased before the Halloween party is over. 

To prevent this scary scenario from happening, start by prepping your skin properly before applying your makeup. It’s important to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise to keep your skin hydrated and give you a radiant complexion. Primer is also an important step in ensuring the longevity of your Halloween makeup. Another simple trick to make your Halloween makeup last longer is to use makeup with a smudge-proof formula! Last but not least, set your look with a setting spray or powder – and be generous with it!
